Crab spider and hover fly for those curious

Hover flies are pretty cool to watch. I get them a lot on the flowers of my luffa.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Luffa deeznuts!
I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me, I apologise, it will happen again.

Why is the fly masquerading as a wasp? I’m curious.

(Sorry if this was a joke that went over my head and not an earnest question)
Afaik its a strategy to scare off predators. The general idea goes like… predators dont want to get stung --> predators less likely to eat wasps --> fly pretends to be wasp --> predator less likely to eat fly for fear of being stung. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry here is a Wikipedia page if you feel like reading a much better longer description written by people who know a whole shitload more about biology than I do.

The flower is actually fungi.
The cameraman was actually two goats in a trench coat.
The meme watcher might want to dress in rainbow thigh high socks but actually they might not know it yet.
